About our Customer
The client is a leading dispensary operating in a highly competitive cannabis market, with several locations across Nevada. Known for its strong brand presence, the company partnered with NXTeck to boost in-store traffic, enhance digital marketing performance, and drive higher returns on ad spend. Prior to the partnership, the dispensary faced challenges with inconsistent foot traffic and engagement drop-offs but was eager to scale its success through data-driven strategy and innovation.
The Challenge
- Despite steady online sales, in-store growth was stalling, with foot traffic slowing
- Outdated audience segmentation and creative fatigue caused a decline in CTRs and overall campaign engagement
- Operating in a highly saturated cannabis market, the dispensary struggled to maintain momentum or reach new audiences
- It became clear that a refreshed, data-driven strategy was needed to bridge the gap between digital investment and real-world results
The Solution
Audience Segmentation & Retargeting Overhaul
- Revamped outdated targeting with real-time audience segmentation, focusing on high-intent users actively searching for dispensary products
- Introduced dynamic retargeting to re-engage past site visitors and boost both online and in-store conversions, with special attention to underperforming locations
Creative Refresh with Cannabis-Specific Messaging
- Replaced underperforming ads with high-impact creatives featuring cannabis-relevant visuals and offers
- These updated creatives more than doubled industry CTR benchmarks, reigniting user interest and performance across all store locations
Seasonal Campaigns & Data-Driven Optimization
- Launched timely seasonal promotions to align with major holidays and shopper behavior
- Leveraged continuous campaign monitoring to make real-time adjustments to placement and bidding, prioritizing top-performing segments
In-Store Foot Traffic Strategy
- Used regional location data to optimize campaigns by store, focusing on boosting traffic at two main locations while addressing lags at others
- These localized campaign adjustments led to a measurable increase in foot traffic and in-market engagement
The Results

- By March 2025, the dispensary hit a record-breaking 849% ROI
